About the product
The relationship between trade policy and environment policy remains a complex one. There has been much debate and discussion at the World Trade Organization (WTO) meetings but so much more is yet to be done to emphasize the need to strengthen environmental protection and ensure that trade rules support national policies providing for high levels of environmental protection. This publication attempts to raise an awareness of some of the key issues that should be discussed at future WTO negotiations by elaborating the concerns of both developing countries and environmentalists. Included in the book's presentation are such issues as: improving the agreement on sanitary and phytosanitary standards; environmental labelling schemes; the agreement on technical barriers to trade; the committee on trade and environment and eco-labelling; and environmental treaties and trade.
